Ora sede di 4 albergues e molte pensioni, Rabanal è una tappa di sosta comune (e saggia). Meglio riposarsi un po’ prima di affrontare il valico dell’alta montagna che segue questo paese.

Ogni sera alle 19.00 i monaci intonano il Vespro, nella piccola parrocchia della Iglesia de Santa María; subito dopo segue la benedizione dei pellegrini.

Il paese ha sempre goduto di un buon livello di prosperità grazie al cammino, e in tempi recenti ha sviluppato una tendenza leggermente bohémien.

Storia

Lasciando Astorga, il terreno si fa accidentato e il rischio per i pellegrini aumenta. Fu per questo motivo che i Cavalieri Templari si stabilirono qui e nella città di Ponferrada, dall’altro lato della montagna.

Il cammino

Il cammino lascia Rabanal lungo lo stesso sentiero di ciottoli che avevate trovato all’entrata del paese, passando oltre la chiesa. NON lasciate il paese percorrendo la strada.

Along ‘The Way’ you will encounter some extra special people and places. This is one of them. Kim’s little Stone Boat haven is heaven sent. A small, charming 3 room home, set in the charm of Rabanal del Camino, with the warmest, personal greeting and banana bread in the oven. Treat yourself!

The woman Alba sent more texts than anyone in the Camino. She said she had space them said to WhatsApp her and over the next 2 days I had a place didn’t have a place had a private place on the wrong day. She owns several of the albergues including indie where I thought I was staying she also owns the cute restaurant w pretty good food. I ended up sharing a simple twin room w shared bath. There were rooms to spare so I never figured out what all her stress was about. I’d suggest getting a solid prepaid booking here. It was a very long walk that day w crux de ferro ahead.

I was recommended this place from the Stone Boat, although I found it pricey and disappointing. Very basic, WiFi does not work, room small and cold with no blanket. They have a washing machine but no dryer so when I went to hang out my clothes to dry the owner had taken all the drying space with her family’s clothes. Owner is nice enough, but place not worth the cost.

I made the mistake of stopping at the first place and there are so many others! This is a lovely village with lovely restaurants, shops and bars. As a vegan I wish I had kept walking as the last Restaurant as you leave the village looks great :)

We purchased some eggs etc from the first store on the left entering the town . Opposite was an area set up called Green Garden that we thought was like a park to relax in . After we took our food back to the Albergue and had a wine , we took our books to the Green garden and didn’t realise it was set up by the grocery shop owner , who came over and basically started abusing us in Spanish . She indicated we were to buy more from her and we just got up and left . To be spoken to like that , for what was a misunderstanding is unacceptable behaviour from a business owner. She kept muttering to us as we departed even though we never responded to her . I would take my business to the other shop as when we went there later , she was very nice to her customers.

Not in the app, unless I’m mistaken, since this hotel has a kind man at the front desk and no bugs whatsoever. A nice choice right on the Camino. Private rooms, excellent salad and very accommodating. I’m glad for the good night’s rest.

The Stone Boat recommended we stay here since their private rooms were booked. El Rincón was perfect for us. It only has a couple rooms but they are clean, spacious and comfortable. Susana, the owner, made us feel at home and let us know about. Her tienda is connected so anything we needed was right there. ¡Fue perfecto!

Highly recommend spending at least 2 nights with the Benedictine monks to rejuvenate your body and give yourself time to reflect on your Camino. Don’t be scared by the “retreat”. You will share meals with the monks and pray with them and other pilgrims in the church and the rest of the time you are provided the quiet and peaceful facilities to reflect in your own time. They are so welcoming and hospitable and they would love you to stay even longer if you can.

Best pilgrims menu so far. I had the lentil soup, fish and cheese cake. Highly recommended

We couldn’t find anything in Rabanal but booking suggested El Molinero casa rural in Santa Colomba de Somoza about 3.5 miles outside and it was wonderful. Great rooms and dinner. All in all 2 meals and a private room cost about $55 ! Use this place as an option for Rabanal del Camino.
